STATE  OF  ALABAMA, 
DEPARTMENT  OF  EDUCATION. 


To  School  Officials  and  Teachers : 

The  Legislature  of  1911  enacted  a rural  school  library  law  which 
was  to  become  operative  when,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Governor,  the 
condition  of  the  State  Treasury  might  warrant.  The  appropriation 
was  fixed  at  $6,700  annually,  or  $100  for  each  county.  The  Gov- 
ernor, on  January  15th,  made  the  appropriation  available  March 
loth,  1912.  The  annotated  library  list  was  soon  thereafter  widely 
distributed,  and  the  system  went  into  operation.  The  respons-e  was 
almost  immediate,  and  the  results  have  been  exceedingly  gratifying. 

In  the  preparation  of  the  original  book-list  as  well  as  this  revi- 
sion, I have  had  the  heartiest  co-operation  of  Dr.  Thomas  M. 
Owen,  the  director  of  the  department  of  archives  and  history.  In 
fact,  each  edition  was  prepared  under  his  personal  direction.  He 
and  his  office  force  labored  untiringly  to  the  end  that  Alabama 
might  offer  a large  list  of  books,  selected  with  the  greatest  pos- 
sible care  and  yet  so  helpfully  classified  by  subjects  and  by  grades, 
as  to  be  a complete  guide  in  the  hands  of  book  buyers.  It  is 
believed  that  the  many  advantageous  features  noticeable  in  the 
preparation  of  this  book-list  will  cause  it  to  compare  favorably 
with  the  best  publications  of  a similar  nature  in  any  state  in  the 
union. 

The  prices  were  obtained  through  competitive  bids  and  they  in- 
clude transportation  charges  to  the  purchaser.  These  prices  will  be 
found  considerably  lower  than  actual  net  prices  from  publishers. 
The  book-case  recommended  for  purchase  by  all  libraries  represents 
a good  value  for  the  price  and  ought  to  be  included  with  the  first 
order. 

The  cordial  thanks  of  Dr.  Owen  and  myself  are  extended  to  the 
many  publishers  who  donated,  free  of  charge,  the  hundreds  of 
sample  books  from  which  selections  have  been  made. 

I sincerely  hope  that  every  community  in  Alabama  not  already 
supplied  will  soon  provide  itself  with  a good  library  in  order  that 
all  people,  both  old  and  young,  but  especially  school  children,  may 
secure  for  themselves  the  rich  blessings  to  be  obtained  through  the 
reading  of  good  books.

INTRODUCTION. 


THIS  publication  is  the  annotated  list  of  books  contemplated 
by  Section  4 of  the  act  of  April  13,  1911,  establishing  and 
providing  a system  of  school  libraries  for  the  rural,  town,  and 
village  schools  of  Alabama.  It  is  a revision  and  an  enlargement 
of  the  list  first  prepared  and  published  under  date  of  January  1, 
1912. 

It  is  believed  that  the  directions  of  the  law  have  been  fully  met. 
The  list  is  representative,  just  as  nearly  as  consistent  with  space, 
of  the  whole  field  of  literature.  Great  care  has  been  taken  in  the 
compilation,  and  no  pains  have  been  spared  to  secure  the  very  best 
selections.  No  unwholesome  or  vicious  books  have  been  included. 

In  the  selections  it  will  be  noted  that  many  books  are  admitted 
to  the  list,  which  cannot  be  properly  classed  as  grade  books  for 
rural  schools.  This  course,  resulting  in  a much  larger  selection, 
is  altogether  justified  because  the  list  is  intended  not  only  to  meet 
immediate  conditions,  but  to  anticipate  the  growing  aspiration  of 
the  several  communities  which  will  avail  themselves  of  the  pro- 
visions of  the  law,  as  well  as  to  afford  a list  for  teachers,  high 
school  libraries,  small  public  libraries,  and  others  wishing  the  ad- 
vantage of  a classed  collection  of  good  books.  So  considered,  the 
list  will  be  found  of  constantly  increasing  value  to  all  who  are  in 
need  of  its  reference  help. 

Annotations  have  been  provided,  carefully  bringing  out  details 
concerning  the  contents,  scope  and  character  of  the  books  included 
in  the  list.  Grade  numbers,  as  accurate  as  possible,  have  also  been 
appended.  With  each  title  are  given  an  order  number,  the  retail 
price,  and  the  library  price  secured  by  the  Committee.  The  latter 
has  been  fixed  in  accordance  with  the  provision  of  the  law,  which 
says  that  “maximum  prices  for  purchase  shall  be  indicated.”  Par- 
ticulars for  making  selections,  orders,  and  all  other  necessary  de- 
tails, will  be  found  within. 

In  addition  to  the  compilation  of  the  list  it  is  provided  that  the 
commission  “shall  also  adopt  and  publish  rules  and  regulations  for 
the  choice  of  books,  their  use,  preservation  and  circulation,  the 
erection  of  book  shelves  or  book  cases,  and  the  equipment  of  library 
rooms  or  buildings,  and  the  training  of  librarians  or  custodians  for 
the  libraries.”  In  the  pages  which  follow  will  be  found  the  rules 
and  regulations  adopted,  to  which  the  attention  of  all  trustees,, 
patrons  and  teachers  is  very  earnestly  urged.

ALABAMA  LIBRARY  LIST. 


I.  ALABAMA  RURAL  SCHOOL  LIBRARY  LAW. 

The  law  which  follows  is  the  first  effort  in  Alabama  looking  to 
the  establishment  of  libraries  in  the  schools  of  the  State  from  public 
funds.  While  general  in  its  operation,  it  is  confined  to  a limited 
class  of  such  schools,  namely,  “rural,  town  and  village  schools,”  but 
it  is  not  to  “apply  to  any  school  located  in  a town  or  city  of  more 
than  one  thousand  inhabitants.” 

Having  as  a purpose  the  grant  of  State  library  aid  to  these 
smaller  educational  groups,  the  act  of  establishment  presents  a 
carefully  worked  out  “system.”  Existing  educational  administra- 
tive machinery  for  carrying  out  its  provisions  is  employed  through- 
out— the  State  Superintendent  of  Education,  the  County  Superin- 
tendent of  Education,  the  County  Treasurer  of  school  funds,  dis- 
trict trustees,  the  teachers  and  school  patrons. 

State  aid  is  granted  only  after  community  effort  in  rasing  a fixed 
sum  of  ten  dollars  has  been  successfully  met,  which  amount  is  to 
be  duplicated  by  the  County  in  which  located,  to  which  from  the 
State  treasury  is  added  ten  dollars,  making  a total  of  thirty  dollars. 
There  is  here  a happy  conjunction  of  effort,  the  results  of  which  in 
a general  way  are  sure  to  prove  wholesome  and  helpful  to  every 
community  acting  under  the  law. 

Annotated  lists  of  books  suitable  for  the  schools  are  provided 
and  from  these  the  libraries  can  only  be  purchased.

Approved  April  13,  1911. 


II.  ALABAMA  TEACHERS’  AND  YOUNG  PEOPLE’S 
READING  CIRCLE. 

While  the  act  of  April  13,  1911,  is  the  first  expression  of  State 
aid  in  behalf  of  libraries,  books  and  reading,  for  years  the  teachers 
themselves  have  been  working  in  that  behalf.  Several  brief  lists 
of  selected  books  have  been  issued  under  the  direction  of  the  joint 
committee  of  the  Alabama  Education  Association  and  the  Alabama 
Library  Association.  This  joint  committee  also  assembled  and 
placed,  from  time  to  time,  hundreds  of  books  in  many  smaller 
schools. 

In  April,  1909,  the  Alabama  Teachers’  Reading  Circle  was  organ- 
ized, having  as  its  object  the  encouragement  of  both  general  and 
professional  reading  and  study  among  the  teachers  of  the  State. 
It  was  a success  from  the  beginning.  In  1910  its  scope  was  en- 
larged, with  a change  of  the  title,  so  as  to  give  the  children  and 
young  people  also  an  opportunity  for  systematic  reading.  At  the 
end  of  the  business  year  in  1911,  the  promoters  were  able  to  report 
a still  further  increase  of  interest.  In  1913  the  directors,  after 
careful  consideration,  adopted,  with  minor  modifications,  Recom- 
mended Libraries  Nos.  4,  5 and  6,  previously  adopted  by  this  Com- 


LIBRARY  LAW.

mittee,  and  at  the  same  time  added  three  additional  libraries,  as 
Nos.  7,  8 and  9,  making  nine  in  all,  each  valued  at  ten  dollars, 
and  recommended  as  suitable  for  purchase. 

The  Circle  work  is  in  such  condition  that  the  Committee  feels 
that  the  further  development  of  the  State  library  law  ought  to  go 
hand  in  hand  with  it;  and  inasmuch  as  the  courses  of  reading,  the 
adopted  books  of  the  Circle,  and  the  regulations  therefor  all  lead 
to  certain  rewards  in  the  form  of  certificates  and  diplomas,  the 
real  value  of  such  affiliation  is  the  more  apparent. 

Therefore,  the  Committee  has  placed  the  books  of  the  Alabama 
Teachers’  and  Young  People’s  Reading  Circle  on  its  selected  list, 
and  at  the  same  time  recommends  the  Elementary  Libraries,  Nos. 
1 to  9 inclusive,  for  first  selection  and  purchase  under  the  law. 
While  such  recommendation  is  not  obligatory,  but  advisory  merely, 
at  least  one  of  the  libraries  should  by  all  means  be  secured,  irre- 
spective of  what  other  books  may  be  bought. 


III.  SUGGESTIONS  AND  PLANS  FOR  ESTABLISHING 

LIBRARIES. 

Under  the  law  ten  libraries  may  be  established  each  year  in  each 
of  the  several  counties  of  the  State.  This  number  will  be  slightly 
increased  after  the  first  two  or  three  years,  because  of  the  failure 
of  many  of  the  school  districts  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity 
afforded  them.  The  moneys  appropriated  for  libraries  do  not  return 
at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  to  the  State  Treasury,  but  “all  un- 
expended balances  on  the  first  day  of  October  each  year  shall  be 
reapportioned  equally  among  all  counties  of  the  State”' — Section  7. 

While  teachers  are  expected  to  take  the  initiative  in  arousing 
local  interest  in  the  establishment  of  libraries,  through  State  and 
county  aid,  in  large  numbers  of  the  school  districts  the  members  of 
women’s  clubs  and  of  the  women’s  patriotic  societies  will  be  found 
ready  either  to  lead  in  such  movement,  or  else  to  co-operate  cor- 
dially. It  is  confidently  expected  that  there  will  be  a generous 
rivalry  throughout  the  several  counties  in  the  matter  of  applica- 
tions for  libraries. 

In  any  movement  looking  to  the  establishment  of  the  library  here- 
under, two  things  should  be  kept  constantly  in  mind,  namely,  the 
matter  of  arousing  general  local  interest,  that  is,  interest  on  the 
part  of  every  man,  women  and  child  in  the  school  district,  and  the 
raising  of  the  preliminary  fund  of  ten  dollars,  required  as  a con- 
dition precedent  for  county  and  State  aid.  Before  attempting  to 
raise  funds  there  should  be  a campaign  of  education  on  the  subject 
of  libraries,  books  and  reading.  The  teacher  should  first  of  all  visit 


10 


ALABAMA  LIBRARY  LIST. 


the  local  board  of  trustees,  and  explain  to  them  the  great  advantages 
which  will  result  to  the  community  in  the  establishment  of  a library 
in  the  school,  and  that  up-to-date  teaching  methods,  as  well  as  cul- 
ture forces  demand  this  addition  to  the  equipment  of  every  well- 
regulated  school.  The  leading  men  and  women  of  the  community 
or  districts  should  also  be  visited.  Daily  talks  should  be  made  to 
the  school  children,  in  which  they  should  be  asked  to  speak  to  their 
parents  and  friends  of  the  library  plans.  The  teacher  might  also 
write  occasional  articles  to  the  county  newspapers  presenting  the 
advantages  schools  with  libraries  enjoy  over  those  without  such 
aids. 

While  this  campaign  is  going  on,  plans  should  be  forming  at  the 
same  time  for  raising  the  money  required.  Such  campaign  should 
not  be  limited  to  the  ten  dollars  required  by  law,  but  as  large  a sum 
as  possible  should  be  collected,  in  order  that  the  selection  of  books 
may  be  larger  and  more  representative. 

After  the  money  has  been  raised  the  selections  should  be  made 
by  the  local  board  of  trustees,  the  books  ordered,  and  the  library 
opened. 

Some  of  the  ways  suggested  for  raising  money  are  as  follows : 

1.  Appeal  to  your  local  district  school  board  to  provide  the 
funds. 

2.  Appeal  to  some  philanthropic  citizen  to  assist  the  school  in 
raising  the  funds. 

3.  Arrange  with  the  school  board  to  make  such  a proposition 
to  the  school. 

4.  Interest  the  whole  community  in  the  library  plans,  and  have 
the  children  canvass  every  citizen  for  subscriptions  for  a library. 

5.  Let  a school  entertainment,  or  a series  of  entertainments,  be

SELECTION  OF  BOOKS. 


11 


IV.  SELECTION  OF  BOOKS— RECOMMENDATIONS 
FOR  FIRST  PURCHASE. 

Below  will  be  found  lists  of  books  recommended  for  first  pur- 
chase. The  books  so  named  have  been  selected  after  the  most  care- 
ful scrutiny,  or  for  other  reasons  as  given.  Certain  general  sug- 
gestions, however,  are  deemed  necessary,  governing  selections  fall- 
ing outside  of  the  recommended  collection,  as  well  as  for  future 
purchases  or  additions. 

Although  the  Committee  has  made  up  the  libraries,  deemed  ap- 
propriate for  first  “consideration  and  purchase,  the  duty  of  actual 
selection  is  placed  elsewhere.  The  law  provides  “That  the  selection 
and  purchase  of  the  books  from  the  authorized  list  shall  be  made  by 
the  district  board  of  trustees,  upon  the  recommendations  of  the 
teacher  or  of  any  patron  or  friend  of  the  school.” 

It  is  to  be  noted,  therefore,  that  the  agency  for  the  selection  is 
the  board  of  trustees  of  the  school  district,  that  the  selection  can 
only  be  made  from  the  authorized  list,  and  that  in  such  selection 
the  recommendations  of  the  teacher,  or  of  patrons  or  friends  of  the 
school  may  be  considered.  Through  these  provisions  it  is  believed 
that  a more  general  local  interest  will  be  aroused  than  if  the 
teacher  alone  were  charged  with  the  actual  selection.  After  a lib- 
rary is  assured,  a meeting  of  the  trustees  should  be  held,  to  which 
the  teacher  and  all  patrons  should  be  invited.  Some  one  should 
fully  explain  the  law,  how  the  selections  are  to  be  made,  the  recom- 
mended lists  should  be  examined,  and  a decision  reached. 

It  would  be  well  for  the  teacher  to  be  thoroughly  acquainted  with 
the  lists,  so  as  to  be  able  to  assist  the  trustees  by  suggestions,  or 
otherwise,  and  at  the  same  time  to  actually  prepare  the  order  for 
the  books,  to  be  forwarded  through  the  county  superintendent  of 
education. 

As  indicated  above  the  Committee  recommends  for  first  purchase, 
both  by  the  schools  and  by  the  teachers,  at  least  one  of  the  sets  of 
books  comprising  the  libraries  of  the  Alabama  Teachers’  and  Young 
People’s  Reading  Circle.  There  are  nine  of  these  libraries  for 
elementary  or  rural  schools,  each  valued  at  ten  ($10.00)  dollars. 
Within  the  amount  provided  by  law,  namely,  thirty  dollars,  any 
three  of  these  libraries  could  be  secured.  This  course  would  enable 
the  school  to  obtain  Circle  membership  and  at  the  same  time  it 
would  afford  the  pupils  an  opportunity  to  obtain  the  benefits  of  the 
rewards  offered  for  the  Circle  course. 

These  selected  lists  represent  the  joint  efforts  of  the  State  Com- 
mittee and  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Reading  Circle. 

The  list  of  the  teachers’  course  is  included  herein  because  pre- 
pared and  used  by  the  Circle.  The  Committee,  charged  only  with 


12 


ALABAMA  LIBRARY  LIST. 


the  duty  of  recommendations  for  rural  school  libraries,  makes  no 
recommendations  in  reference  thereto. 

Book  Cask. 

The  Committee,  after  careful  examination  of  the  subject,  has 
arranged  with  Loveman,  Joseph  and  Loeb,  Birmingham,  Ala., 
for  the  manufacture  of  a very  attractive  oak  book  case,  with  lock 
and  key,  suited  to  the  needs  of  small  school  libraries.  The  price 
agreed  upon  is  ten  ($10.00)  dollars,  delivered.  While  it  is  not 
imperative  that  this  case  should  be  used,  nevertheless,  in  order  to 
secure  the  benefits  of  the  library  law,  some  fofm  of  book  case  is 
positively  required  to  be  provided  by  the  local  board  of  trustees. 
Where  desired  the  trustees  can  order  a book  case  from  a local  furni- 
ture dealer.  (See  rule  6 in  Chapter  VI  hereinafter.) 

Rkcord  Books. 

The  Committee  has  adopted  forms  for  a register  of  books  pur- 
chased, and  a register  of  loans  and  circulation.  These  books  are 
made  necessary,  in  order  that  an  adequate  record  may  be  kept. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  with  Loveman,  Joseph  and  Loeb, 
Birmingham,  Ala.,  to  supply  them,  neatly  bound,  at  fifty  cents  each. 
They  must  be  ordered  with  the  first  library.  (See  rule  7 in  Chapter 
VI  hereinafter.) 

The  following  practical  points  should  be  kept  constantly  in  view 
in  general  selections  outside  of  the  recommended  libraries : 

1.  Well  selected  story  books  should  have  first  consideration,  but 
they  should  not  be  added  to  the  exclusion  of  a well-balanced  addi- 
tion of  other  classes  of  literature. 

2.  Do  not  buy  books  for  adults  or  for  the  teacher  to  the  neglect 
of  the  children  and  young  people. 

3.  Some  good  reference  book  or  books,  suitable  to  local  needs 
particularly,  should  be  added  as  soon  as  funds  will  admit. 

4.  Some  good  books  of  biography  and  historical  fiction  should 
be  purchased  with  every  order. 

5.  Full  sets  of  an  author’s  works,  or  all  of  the  volumes  of  a 
given  collection,  are  not  necessary.  As  the  library  grows  these 
sets  may  be  completed  if  really  desirable.  Books  should  not  neces- 
sarily be  bought  in  series  for  the  same  reason. 

6.  Do  not  buy  books  from  agents,  even  with  outside  funds.  The 
prices  for  such  books,  even  if  for  other  reasons  they  are  desirable, 
are  usually  very  unreasonable.  For  the  same  amount  very  many 
and  infinitely  more  valuable  books  can  be  had.  If  the  school  has 
any  patron  or  friend  desiring  to  make  a book  donation,  let  the 
selection  come  from  the  Alabama  Library  List. 

7.  Consult  the  critical  notes  or  annotations  in  making  selections 
from  the  list.

V.  BOOK  ORDERS  AND  PURCHASES. 

Details  for  the  selection  of  books  are  set  forth  with  considerable 
fullness  in  the  law,  the  provisions  of  which  are  mandatory.  Section 
6 provides,  “That  the  selection  and  purchase  of  the  books  from  the 
authorized  list  shall  be  made  by  the  district  board  of  trustees,  upon 
the  recommendation  of  the  teacher  or  any  patron  or  friend  of  the 
school. 

“After  the  order  therefor  shall  be  placed,  on  receipt  of  notice 
of  the  delivery  of  the  books,  the  county  treasurer  of  school  funds 
shall  draw  a warrant  or  check  to  cover  the  charges,  including  the 
freight. 

“Vouchers  or  bills  in  duplicate  shall  be  made  out,  one  copy  for  the 
county  treasurer  of  school  funds,  and  one  copy  to  be  sent  by  the 
bookseller  or  dealer  to  the  State  Superintendent  of  Education.” 

It  will  be  seen  that  a careful  system  is  provided,  which  is  self- 
explanatory.  It  is  to  be  noted,  however,  that  all  details  connected 
with  the  foregoing  are  to  be  performed  by  the  representative  of  the 
school  district  ( usually  the  teacher ) and  by  the  county  superintend- 
ent of  education.  The  county  treasurer  of  school  funds  is  to  be 
called  upon  to  perform  no  other  detail  work  than  the  payment  for 
the  books. 

A further  important  fact  to  be  noted  specially  is  that  on  the  re- 
ceipt of  duplicate  statement,  with  bill  of  lading  or  express  receipt 
attached,  the  county  superintendent  of  education  is  directed  to  re- 
gard this  as  such  delivery  as  to  authorize  him  to  immediately  cause 
a warrant  or  check  to  be  drawn  by  the  county  treasurer  of  school 
funds  to  cover,  which  is  to  be  forwarded  by  him  to  the  book  dealer. 

The  Committee  has  designated  Loveman,  Joseph  and  Eoeb,  Bir- 
mingham, Ala.,  as  the  successful  bidders  for  the  contract  to  supply 
all  the  books  contained  in  the  adopted  lists. 

“Maximum  prices  for  purchase”  have  been  agreed  upon  as  re- 
quired by  law,  and  the  retail  price  has  also  been  indicated. 

An  order  form  has  been  provided,  and  it  should  be  followed  care- 
fully in  every  detail  in  making  orders.

LIBRARY  RULES  AND  REGULATIONS. 


27 


VI.  LIBRARY  RULES  AND  REGULATIONS. 

For  the  organization  and  management  of  the  libraries  the  Com- 
mittee has  fixed  sundry  rules  and  regulations,  the  observance  of 
which  is  made  obligatory.  These  rules  and  regulations  are  simple 
and  present  an  orderly  series  of  steps  involving  the  library,  the 
library  board,  librarian,  equipment,  circulation  of  books,  charges 
and  fines,  care  of  books,  and  reports. 

All  persons  whatever  connected  in  any  way  with  the  management 
or  the  use  of  the  libraries  are  charged  with  strict  attention  thereto. 
Such  course  will  not  only  be  a compliance  with  the  letter  of  the  law, 
but  will  also  be  productive  of  the  best  results. 

Library. 

1.  The  library  shall  consist  of  the  books,  book-case,  registers  and 
other  equipment,  which  may  be  had  or  secured  under  the  provisions 
of  the  rural  school  library  law,  or  which  may  from  time  to  time  be 
added  thereto;  it  is  the  property  of  the  school  district,  and  as  such 
it  is  in  all  respects  subject  to  the  same  protection  from  loss,  mutila- 
tion or  destruction ; and  it  shall  during  the  term  be  kept  and  housed 
in  the  school  building.  In  the  vacation  period,  if  the  local  board  of 
trustees  so  direct,  it  may  be  retained  in  the  school  house  and  opened 
at  stated  periods,  or  it  may  be  placed  at  such  other  place  as  will  best 
serve  the  interests  of  the  school  district. 

Library  Board. 

2.  “The  local  board  of  trustees  of  the  district  in  which  the  school 
is  located,  and  to  which  a library  is  granted,  shall  constitute  a li- 
brary board  charged  with  the  administration  of  the  library  as  other 
school  property,  and  they  are  hereby  charged  wi-th  the  same  care 
and  attention  in  connection  therewith  as  of  the  school  grounds,  the 
school  building  or  buildings,  and  the  school  equipment.”— Sec.  5. 

They  are  also  charged  with  the  duty  of  seeing  that  the  rules 
herein  provided  are  carried  out,  and  to  that  end  they  may  specially 
require  the  co-operation  of  the  teacher. 

Librarian. 

3.  “They  [the  local  board  of  trustees]  shall  select  the  librarian 
or  custodian,  who  shall  be  the  teacher,  if  he  or  she  will  consent  to 
act,  and  they  shall  see  that  the  rules  prescribed  herein  are  carried 
out,  but  if  the. librarian  is  other  than  the  teacher,  such  person  shall 
be  under  the  direction  of  the  teacher  as  the  representative  of  the  dis- 
trict board  of  trustees.” — Sec.  5.

ALABAMA  LIBRARY  LIST. 


All  records  are  to  be  kept  in  ink. 

4.  In  the  event  the  teacher  consents  to  act  as  librarian,  he  or 
she  shall  have  authority  to  appoint  an  assistant  or  assistants,  whose 
duty  it  shall  be  to  aid  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  of  librarian. 

5.  The  duties  of  the  librarian  are  the  care  and  custody  of  the 
books,  their  entry  in  the  register  of  books  purchased,  the  note  of 
proper  record  in  the  register  of  loans  and  circulation,  the  assess- 
ment of  fines,  the  careful  repair  of  worn,  torn  or  mutilated  books, 
the  making  of  all  reports  which  may  be  required,  and  the  diligent 
effort  to  make  the  library  a vital  and  constructive  force  in  the 
school  and  the  school  district. 

Book-Case  and  Record  Books. 

6.  “They  [the  local  board  of  trustees]  shall  provide  a suitable 
book-case,  or  book-cases,  with  lock  and  key,  for  the  preservation 
of  the  library.” — Sec.  5. 

(The  case  figured  and  described  elsewhere  herein  has  been 
adopted  and  is  recommended  as  most  suitable  and  economical,  at 
least  at  the  inception  of  the  library.) 

7.  They  shall  provide  a register  of  books  purchased,  and  a regis- 
ter of  loans  and  circulation. 

(Forms  for  these  books  have  been  adopted,  and  they  can  be  had 
from  the  dealers  supplying  the  library  books,  at  fifty  cents  each.) 

Circulation. 

8.  As  soon  as  received  the  books  shall  be  listed  by  the  librarian 
in  the  Register  of  books  purchased,  particular  care  being  taken  that 
all  blanks  shall  be  filled. 

9.  After  being  listed,  in  each  book  shall  be  entered,  on  the  in- 
side cover  and  in,  the  following  order,  the  name  of  the  County,  the 
name  and  number  of  the  school  district,  the  local  name  of  the 
school,  if  any,  the  cost  of  the  book,  the  date  of  the  purchase,  cata- 
logue number  (from  this  book  list),  and  the  number  as  listed  in  the 
register  of  books  purchased.  Instead  of  writing  the  foregoing  an 
inexpensive  blank  book  plate  or  label  may  be  printed  and  pasted  on 
the  inside  cover. 

10.  All  pupils  of  the  school  and  patrons  of  the  school  district 
are  entitled  to  the  free  privileges  of  the  library.  Parents  or  guar- 
dians are  responsible  for  the  care  of  the  books  while  in  the  hands  of 
their  children  or  wards,  and  for  the  fines  which  may  be  imposed 
hereunder.  Books  taken  out  by  pupils  are  to  be  charged  to  their 
parents  or  guardians. 

11.  One  book  only  at  one  time  shall  be  allowed  to  any  pupil 
or  patron.  . 


LIBRARY  RULES  AND  REGULATIONS.

12.  A book  may  be  retained  as  a loan  for  one  week,  with  a 
privilege  of  renewal  for  one  week  and  no  longer. 

13.  No  borrower  shall  have  the  privilege  of  lending,  outside  of 
his  own  home,  a book  drawn  from  the  library. 

14.  Every  book  loaned,  at  the  time  taken  out,  shall  be  entered 
by  the  librarian  in  a register  of  loans  and  circulation,  with  the  date, 
the  number,  the  title,  to  whom  delivered,  to  whom  charged ; and 
when  returned,  upon  the  same  record  must  be  noted  the  date,  the 
condition,  and  the  fines  assessed  for  over-time,  or  for  injury,  if  any, 
with  the  fact  of  payment  or  non-payment. 

15.  On  the  return  of  books  to  the  library,  they  shall  be  carefully 
examined  by  the  librarian  who  shall  assess  and  note  on  the  register 
the  fines  hereinafter  fixed,  and  collection  thereof. 

Charges  and  Fines. 

16.  The  use  of  the  library  is  free. 

17.  For  failure  to  return  books  on  time,  for  loss  or  injury,  or 
other  violation  of  the  rules  and  regulations,  fines  are  fixed  as  fol- 
lows : 

a.  One  cent  for  each  day  after  the  date  for  return,  unless  re- 
newed. 

b.  For  loss  of  a volume,  the  cost  thereof ; and  if  one  of  a set,  a 
sum  sufficient  to  replace  it,  or  to  purchase  a new  set. 

c.  For  a leaf  or  leaves  torn  out,  or  for  soiling  the  book,  or  any 
of  the  leaves,  so  as  to  render  it  unsuitable  for  circulation,  to  be 
judged  by  the  librarian,  the  cost  of  the  book. 

d.  For  any  injury  beyond  ordinary  wear,  a sum  adjusted  to  the 
damage,  to  be  estimated  by  the  librarian. 

e.  Should  a book  be  retained  four  weeks  by  a borrower  and  not 
returned,  it  shall  be  deemed  to  be  lost,  and  the  cost  of  the  book  shall 
be  assessed  as  a fine;  but  such  fine  may  be  readjusted  on  the  basis 
of  one  cent  a day,  if  the  book  be  later  returned  in  good  condition. 

f.  Any  pupil  or  patron  in  arrears  for  fines  shall  be  denied  the 
privilege  of  the  library  until  the  same  shall  be  paid  in  full. 

18.  All  fines  collected  are  to  be  applied  to  replacing  lost  volumes, 
and  to  keeping  in  repair  worn  or  mutilated  books. 

Reports. 

19.  On  request  the  teacher  as  librarian  shall  make  a written 
report  to  the  local  board  of  trustees  on  any  matters  connected  with 
the  condition  or  administration  of  the  library. 

20.  Once  each  year,  or  within  ten  days  after  the  close  of  the 
school  term,  the  teacher  as  librarian  shall  make  a report  in  writing 
to  the  State  Department  of  Education  in  which  he  shall  give :

e.  Number  of  volumes  and  amount  paid  therefor  from  other 

than  the  State  library  fund.

VII.  CLASSIFICATION. 

(Dewey  Decimal  System  of  Classification  slightly  modified  and 
adapted.) 

An  examination  of  the  annotated  list  will  show  an  arrangement 
in  certain  classes  or  groups.  This  has  been  done  in  order  that  all 
the  books  on  a given  subject,  or  of  the  same  general  character,  may 
be  brought  together,  thus  the  better  to  afford  an  opportunity  for  the 
more  satisfactory  location  of  subjects,  and  at  the  same  time  to  in- 
dicate  the  relative  strength  of  the  several  departments  represented. 

The  arrangement  follows  the  standard  classification,  now  almost 
universally  adopted  in  the  public  and  school  libraries  of  the  country. 
The  numbers  assigned  are  those  given  the  several  classes  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  Dewey  decimal  system  of  classification.  To  illus- 
trate, all  books  on  animals  are  given  the  class  number  590,  books 
on  hygiene,  613,  the  history  of  literature,  810,  and  the  history  of 
ancient  times,  930.  The  use  of  this  standard  classification,  and  the 
assignment  of  class  numbers,  are  not  intended  to  confuse,  but  to 
serve  as  aids  in  the  arrangement  of  the  list,  and  at  the  same  time 
to  acquaint  teachers,  pupils  and  other  users  of  the  list,  with  some 
phases  of  library  technical  rules. 

Should  any  one  of  the  libraries  grow  to  such  proportion  as  to  re- 
quire oi  ganization  or  classification  on  the  shelves  other  than  alpha- 
betically, by  authors,  full  particulars  can  be  had  as  to  the  best  pro- 
cedure by  addressing  the  Director,  Alabama  State  Department  of 
Archives  and  History,  Montgomery. 

The  classification  as  adopted,  and  under  which  all  of  the  books 
listed  are  represented,  is  here  given  in  outline.

IX.  ANNOTATED  LIBRARY  LIST. 

CLASSED. 

The  list  which  follows  contains  the  titles  in  detail  of  the  several  books 
recommended  by  the  Committee  as  suitable  for  library  use.  It  is  the 
“annotated  list”  required  by  law  to  be  compiled.  Particulars  as  to  the 
compilation  will  be  found  in  the  Introduction. 

The  entire  collection  is  arranged  or  grouped  in  classes  or  subjects  ac- 
cording to  a simplified  form  of  the  Dewey  decimal  system  of  classification, 
which  will  be  found  more  fully  explained  in  Chapter  VII  hereof.  All 
titles  are  arranged  alphabetically  by  authors  in  each  class. 

Order  numbers  are  given  consecutively  on  the  left.  To  the  right  are 
noted  the  publisher’s  price  and  the  special  library  price.  The  library 
price  governs  in  making  orders,  and  includes  delivery. 

Grades  have  been  assigned,  following  publishers  grading  as  far  as 
possible.  The  elementary  and  grammar  school  grades  range  from  1 to  7. 
“Advanced  grade”  is  an  arbitrary  phrase  used  to  indicate  that  the  book 
is  above  grade  7 ; “Educational”  indicates  that  the  book  is  suitable  for 
the  use  of  teachers;  and  “Reference”  is  employed  to  show  that  the  book 
is  a reference  work  of  the  class  where  noted. 

The  annotations  or  notes  follow  the  title,  and  are  in  small  type.  They 
are  not  in  any  sense  exhaustive,  but  are  only  intended  to  very  briefly 
point  out  the  character,  extent  or  literary  value  of  the  book  in  question. 

The  name  of  the  publisher  is  given  in  a single  word,  following  the 
pagination.  In  Chapter  VIII  will  be  found  a full  list  of  the  publishers 
represented  in  the  list,  with  the  local  addresses.  Inasmuch  as  dates  of 
publication  of  different  editions  of  books  vary,  the  pagination  is  given 
in  order  there  may  be  no  substitution  of  one  edition,  where  another  is 
listed.  No  books  in  paper  binding  are  included  in  the  list.  The  prices 
given  are  for  hooks,  either  in  cloth  or  hoards,  never  in  paper.  The 
prices  noted  represent  the  bids  made  by  Loveman,  Joseph  and  Loeb, 
Birmingham.  Books  ordered  from  the  publishers,  unless  prices  are  spe- 
cially agreed  upon  by  them,  are  not  to  be  had  at  the  library  list  price 
here  noted. 

Before  ordering,  the  several  directions  in  reference  thereto  should  be 
fully  observed.

123.  Foght,  Harold  Waldstein.  The  American  rural  school. 

111.  pp.  361.  Macmillan.  (Educational.) 1.25  1.13 

“This  book  is  intended  for  rural  school  teachers,  superintend- 
ents, and  school  board  members  ; for  teachers’  reading  circles, 
normal  school  training  classes,  and  all  the  public  at  large  who 
are  interested  in  the  profound  movement  to  make  our  American 
rural  life  richer  and  its  labor  more  effective  by  means  of  schools 
adapted  to  the  changing  needs  of  rural  society  and  the  demands 
of  modern  life. 

“So  far  as  the  public  school  is  concerned  the  term  movement  is 
here  used  advisedly.  It  is  not  used  in  the  destructive  sense.  It 
does  not  seek  out  a new  base  for  school  conduct,  nor  does  it  run 
counter  to  established  laws  of  life  and  growth.  On  the  contrary, 
it  is  constructive  in  its  use.  It  aims  at  fundamental  harmony  by 
facing  the  rural  school  away  from  the  many  artificial  interests 
which  have  hampered  the  usefulness  of  this  institution  in  the 
past.  Indeed,  the  new  movement  strives  to  place  the  school 
where  the  school  inherently  belongs — in  the  midst  of  natural  in- 
terests where  it  can  prepare  the  youth  for  sane,  wholesome  lives 
on  the  farm — the  only  normal  American  life  of  our  day.” —

“In  the  preparation  of  this  book  I have  had  in  mind  two 
classes  of  readers  ; namely,  the  rural  parents  and  the  many  per- 
sons who  are  interested  in  carrying  forward  the  rural  work  dis-

given  in  the  main  body  of  the  book  is  based  on  what  has' already

in  some  rural  community.” — Preface.

“I  have  a profound  faith  in  the  common  boy— and  that  means 
practically  all  the  boys,  for  there  are  few  natural  born  block- 
heads. But  the  common  boy  has  within  his  being  at  infancy  all  the 
latent  possibilities  of  intellect,  of  morals,  of  spirituality  neces- 
sary for  developing  him  into  a citizen  of  great  worth.  A noble 
citizenship  does  not  call  for  brilliancy  in  men  so  much  as  it  calls 
tor  honest  self-support,  cleanness  of  the  daily  life,  courageous 
actum  m the  face  of  trying  circumstances,  cordial  sympathy  and 
helpfulness  in  all  dealings  with  others,  and  a sane  disposition  to-

beauty  of  nature,  is  one  of  the  foremost  duties  of  the  men  and 
women  of  today.  It  is  an  imperative  duty,  because  it  must  be 
performed  at  once,  for  otherwise  it  will  be  too  late.  Every  possi- 
ble means  of  preservation,  sentimental,  educational  and  legisla- 
tive.- must  be  employed.”— Foreword.^

“The  cotton  industry  is  probably  the  greatest  single  industry 
in  the  world  if  the  cultivation,  manufacture,  commerce,  and  the 
uses  of  the  cotton  products  are  considered.  The  influence  of  the 
cotton  plant  on  the  history  of  America  is  especially  interesting. 

The  commerce  of  the  Middle  Ages,  Columbus’  discovery  of  Amer- 
ica. the  trade  between  England  and  her  American  colonies,  the 
revolution  of  the  colonies,  the  War  of  1812,  the  building  of  the 
nation,  the  institution  of  slavery,  the  tariff  question,  the  exten- 
sion of  the  nation  beyond  the  Mississippi,  the  Civil  War,  and  the 
rebuilding  of  the  South  were  all  deeply  affected  by  the  cotton  in- 
dustry ; and  the  world’s  commerce  for  more  than  a century  has 
been  affected  largely  by  it.  For  nearly  a century  the  industrial 
life  of  the  South  has  been  either  directly  or  indirectly  related  to 
the  cotton  industry,  and  this  industry  controlled  for  many  years 
the  politics  of  this  country  and  influenced  in  no  small  measure 
the  politics  of  Europe. 

“Therefore  this  great  economic  force  has  more  than  ordinary 
interest  for  all  students  of  America  and  especially  for  students  of 
the  South,  whose  history  is  affected  so  vitally  by  it.  Pupils  in 
our  public  schools  have  been  taught  almost  exclusively  the  polit- 
ical history  of  our  country.  They  have  had  told  to  them  over 
and  over  again  the  story  of  political  upheavals  and  military  op- 
erations, although  these  crises  are  probably  the  results  of  certain 
economic  forces  working  in  the  life  of  the  people.  It  should  be 
one  of  the  chief  aims  of  the  schools,  therefore,  to  acquaint  the 
student  with  the  leading  economic  forces  of  his  neighborhood,  his 
state,  and  his  country,  in  order  that  he  may  better  understand  the 
politics  of  the  country. 

“ ‘The  Story  of  Cotton’  treats  of  one  of  the  greatest  industries 
of  the  world  and  its  relation  to  the  life  of  the  people.  As  a text- 
book it  may  be  studied  profitably  in  connection  with  the  history 
of  America.  It  will  naturally  find  a place,  therefore,  in  the 
grammar  schools  wherever  American  history  is  studied.” — Pref-

Mr.  Buffum  takes  up  the  common,  every-day  problems  of  the 
ordinary  horse-user,  such  as  feeding,  shoeing,  simple  home  reme- 
dies, breaking  and  the  cure  for  various  equine  vices.  An  impor- 
tant chapter  is  that  tracing  the  influx  of  Arabian  blood  into  the 
English  and  American  horses  and  its  value  and  limitations. 

Chapters  are  included  on  draft-horses,  carriage  horses,  and  the 
development  of  the  two-minute  trotter.  It  is  distinctly  a sensible 
book  for  the  sensible  man  who  wishes  to  know  how  he  can  im- 
prove his  horses  and  his  horsemanship  at  the  same  time.

“Everywhere  it  is  being  urged  that  agriculture  be  taught  in  the 
public  schools,  but  everywhere  the  teachers  answer  that  the  course 
of  study  is  already  overcrowded.  The  Farm  Life  Readers  are  of- 
fered as  a solution  of  this  problem.  When  pupils  are  reading 
from  these  books  they  are  also  studying  agriculture  in  a simple 
and  attractive  form.  Nothing  is  lost  from  the  time  which  should 
be  devoted  to  practice  in  reading,  but  a vast  addition  is  made  to 
the  pupil’s  store  of  fundamental,  practical,  and  helpful  knowl-

511.  Crowell.  (Advanced  grade.) 2.50  2.09 

“By  the  literature  of  the  South,  the  idea  to  be  conveyed  is,  that 
certain  conditions  have  conduced  to  develop  a species  of  writing 
which  is  born  directly  of  these  social  conditions.  The  civilization 
of  the  Old  South — the  reforming  into  a New  South  upon  the  ba- 
sis of  a large  inheritance — these  two  civilizations,  different  from 
their  neighbors  in  temperament,  in  certain  problems  of  vital  mo- 
ment, in  the  structure  of  their  social  fabric,  have  produced  an 
unmistakable  literature,  duly  reflecting  the  mental,  moral,  and 
emotional  viewpoints  of  time  and  place. 

“In  the  following  pages  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  indicate 
this  close  connection  existing  between  the  Southern  life  and  its 
literature.  Only  those  dominant  figures  are  dwelt  upon  who  had 
it  within  them  to  sound  a sustained  note — if  they  were  poets  ; to 
stem  or  to  encourage  the  tide  of  public  or  sectional  feeling — if 
they  were  public  men  ; to  create  or  to  reflect  the  true  atmosphere 
of  locality — if  they  were  novelists.  To  apply  a rigorous  critical 
standard  is  the  only  just  way  of  approaching  an  extensive  sub- 
ject. And  there  is  no  denying  that  the  field  of  Southern  litera- 
ture is  a large  one.” — Foreword.

rop.  (Advanced  grade.) 2.00  1.56 

A complete  edition  of  the  poems  of  Hayne  with  a short  sketch 
of  his'  life. 

"He  was  for  a long  time  so  well  beloved  by  the  people  of  his 
section  that  he  was  known  as  ‘the  poet  laureate  of  the  South’  ; 
and  there  is  some  reason  for  the  expression.  His  poetry  is  dis- 
tinctly Southern  in  tone  and  in  background.  The  product  of  all 
that  was  best  in  the  Old  South — heir  of  its  chivalry  and  romance 
— he  brought  to  the  New  South  sound  standards  of  criticism, 
faithful  devotion  to  art,  and  a spirit  of  high  courage  and  hopeful- 
ness. He  is  the  connecting  link  between  Sims  and  Lanier.  As  he 
received  inspiration  from  the  former,  so  he  was  among  the  first 
to  recognize  the  genius  of  the  latter.  He  is  the  representative  of 
the  small  banJ  of  Southern  writers  who  before  the  war  bore  aloft 
the  torch  of  literature ; he  kept  it  lighted  during  the  dark  days 
of  Reconstruction  ; and  passed  it  on  to  Lanier  on  the  awakening 
of  the  section  to  national  consciousness.” — Mims.

Scribner’s.  (Advanced  grade.) 2.00  1.75 


A complete  edition. 

“Though  Lanier’s  work  was  fragmentary  and  his  collected 
poems  form  but  a small  volume,  yet  he  displays  such  luminous- 
ness of  inspiration,  such  perfection  of  artistic  skill,  such  refine- 
ment and  culture,  and  taste,  such  depth  and  tenderness  of  feel- 
ing, such  rare  originality,  and  exquisite  melodiousness,  as  amply 
to  merit  the  statement  made  by  one  of  the  most  prominent  Lon- 
don reviews  concerning  him.  ‘Lanier,’  says  the  reviewer,  ‘died  so 
early  that  he  really  did  not  show  us  more  than  the  bud  of  his 
genius,  but  if  he  had  lived  ten  years  longer  he  would,  we  believe, 
have  ranked  high  among  English  poets  and  probably  above  every 
American  poet  of  the  past.’  This  is  high  but  well-deserved 
praise.” — Hubner.

flame  than  those  which  burned  on  vestal  altars.  He  combined  in

ness of  the  Southerner,  and  when  he  died  he  was  mourned  by  all, 
irrespective  of  creed.  A Roman  Catholic,  he  was  honored  by 
Protestants  ; an  Irishman,  he  was  loved  and  admired  by  native

Charles  W.  Hubner,  in  Representative  Southern  Poets,  says : 

“In  the  power  of  passionate  feeling,  in  terse,  concentrated  dic- 
tion, clear  ringing  music,  and  idealistic  imagery,  the  poetry 
evolved  by  the  incidents,  the  pathos,  the  glory,  and  the  gloom  of 
the  war  between  the  states,  shows  but  few  examples  that  can  be

“Above  all  the  rest  Timrod  holds  the  first  place  in  the  hearts 
of  the  Southern  people,  as  the  truest  poet  of  their  nation,  the 
great  Confederate  South,  for  he  spoke  from  his  own  heart  and 
his  voice  was  the  voice  of  his  people. 

“This  it  is  which  makes  Timrod’s  poems  so  dear  to  the  South- 
ern people,  an'l  also  renders  them  invaluable  to  the  rest  of  the 
American  republic. 

“Himself  of  ihe  Southern  breed,  with  the  fierce  blood  of  the 
Clan  Graeme  in  his  veins,  he  was  not  the  man  to  stand  unmoved 
in  time  of  war.  Under  the  stirring  influences  of  this  period  he 
poured  forth  in  quick  succession  those  martial  lyrics  in  which

that  comes  before  us  as  the  great  Lee  when  mention  is  made  of 

the  family  name.  In  the  heart  of  the  Southerner  his  name  occu- 

pies a place  that  no  other  name  can  ever  occupy.  But  the  pride 
in  his  military  career  belongs  to  the  whole  nation  and  to  no  sin- 
gle section  of  the  country.”

“When  you  meet  your  little  Italian  cousins,  with  their  big 
brown  eyes  and  olive  skins  whether  it  be  in  school  or  on  the 
street,  perhaps  you  will  feel  a little  nearer,  and  more  friendly  if 
you  turn  your  attention  for  a while  to  their  home,  and  the  home 
of  the  brave  and  wise  Columbus  who  left  it  that  he  might  find 
for  you  in  the  far  West  your  own  loved  country,  your  great,

“The  purpose  of  this  volume  is  to  describe  some  of  the  ways  in 
which  the  climate,  topography,  and  other  characteristics  of  Asia 
have  influenced  the  distribution  of  man  over  that  vast  continent, 
and  have  caused  the  inhabitants  of  different  regions  to  acquire 
highly  varied  habits  and  customs.  To  include,  however,  only  those 
aspects  of  life  in  which  the  influence  of  physical  environment  is 
clearly  apparent  would  be  to  present  only  a part  of  the  story  and 
to  omit  many  interesting  and  important  details  which  children 
ought  to  know  about  the  people  of  Asia.  Since  the  volume,  in  its 
character  of  a supplement  to  an  ordinary  textbook  of  general  ge- 
ography, is  intended  primarily  to  give  children  a picture  of  the 
life  of  the  inhabitants  of  Asia,  the  author  has  deliberately  in- 
cluded many  details  in  which  the  causal  relation  between  life  and 
its  geographic  surroundings  cannot  easily  be  shown.  The  chief 
emphasis,  however,  has  been  given  to  habits  and  customs  which 
show  the  causal  relation,  for  the  purpose  of  the  book  is  to  in- 
struct as  well  as  interest.” — Preface.

Madeira,  which  is  one  of  the  principal  sources  of  the  Amazon. 
On  the  way  he  dealt  with  loose-fingered  gentry  in  the  highlands 
of  Ecuador  and  followed  a devious  trail  through  places  where  the 
most  savage  tribes  of  South  America  have  their  hunting  grounds. 
Most  of  the  time  his  companions  were  natives,  save  where  now

“The  aim  of  this  book  has  been  to  bring  before  the  mind  of  the 
pupils  a series  of  great  historical  characters.  These  men  do  in- 
teresting things  from  the  beginning  to  the  end  of  life.  Because 
their  deeds  are  concrete  and  physical  they  are  easily  pictured  in 
imagination.  To  this  end  the  author  has  endeavored  to  make 
the  language  used  simple,  vivid  and  picturesque.  Nothing  should 
stand  in  the  way  of  the  imagination,  for,  as  a rule,  that  which 
the  pupils  cannot  picture  they  cannot  understand  and  cannot  re- 
member.”— Preface.

“The  primary  aim  of  this  book  is  to  acquaint  the  children  of 
the  South  with  the  goodness  and  grandeur  of  the  lives  of  two  of 
her  noblest  sons. 

“The  suggestion  for  the  work  came  from  a report  of  the  Libra- 
ry Committee  of  the  School  Officials  of  Georgia,  who  urged  that 
some  one  write  the  life  of  Jefferson  Davis  for  use  in  the  South- 
ern schools.  Not  only  was  Davis  a leading  figure  in  the  South- 
ern Confederacy,  but  he  played  an  important  part  in  his  time  in 
our  national  life.  He  was  a man  of  high  ideals  and  of  lofty  am- 
bitions. Of  the  goodness  and  purity  of  General  Lee  there  can  be 
no  question.  It  seems,  therefore,  especially  fitting  that  the  sto- 
ries of  the  President  of  the  Confederacy  and  of  his  Commander 
in  Chief  should  be  given  together. 

“All  points  of  controversy  and  sectional  feeling  have  been 
avoided.  It  is  a time  when  the  whole  nation  is  laying  aside  dis- 
cussion of  such  topics,  a time  when  North  and  South  are  each 
realizing  and  acknowledging  that  in  the  Great  Trial  each  was 
faithful  to  duty.” — Preface.

“The  chief  work  then  of  this  noble  life,  if  such  a life  can  be 
thus  summed  up,  was  to  develop  an  irresistible  public  opinion  in 
a democracy  for  the  accomplishment  of  permanent  public  ends. 

Through  such  work  as  his,  in  one  generation  of  grim  purpose  and 
intellectual  audacity,  the  South  has  lost  its  economic  distinct- 
ness, and  has  become  a part  of  American  life  and  American  des- 
tiny. Men  may  forget  the  oratory,  the  diplomacy,  the  intellec- 
tual vigor,  the  gracious,  compelling  charm  of  Curry,  the  man,  but 
they  will  not  forget  the  zeal,  the  self-surrender  of  Curry,  the  so- 
cial reformer  and  civic  patriot  ; and  when  the  final  roll  shall  be 
called  of  the  great  sons  of  the  South,  and  of  the  nation,  who 
served  society  well  when  service  was  most  needed,  it  may  well  be 
believed  that  no  answer  will  ring  out  clearer  and  higher  and 
sweeter  in  that  larger  air  than  the  ‘Adsum’  of  J.  L.  M.  Curry.”

that  his  interest  in  the  work  was  “not  only  lively  but  profound,” 
and  further  that  “the  family  picture  is  one  of  rare  beauty,”  and 
that  the  “memoir  is  such  as  he  would  have  wished  it  to  be.  I can 
not  give  it  higher  praise.”  Invaluable  to  the  student  of  social

The  latest  and  probably  the  most  satisfactory  biography  of  this

(Advanced  grade.)  1.50  1.35 

“This  book  is  in  three  parts.  The  first  two,  Miss  Keller’s  sto- 
ry and  the  extracts  from  her  letters,  form  a complete  account  of 
her  life  as  far  as  she  can  give  it.  Much  of  her  education  she 
cannot  explain  herself,  and  since  a knowledge  of  that  is  neces- 
sary to  an  understanding  of  what  she  has  written,  it  was  thought 
best  to  supplement  her  autobiography  with  the  reports  and  letters 
of  her  teacher.  Miss  Anne  Mansfield  Sullivan.  The  addition  of  a 
further  account  of  Miss  Keller’s  personality  and  achievements 
may  be  unnecessary ; yet  it  will  help  to  make  clear  some  of  the 
traits  of  her  character  and  the  nature  of  the  work  which  she  and 
her  teacher  have  done.” — Editor’s  Preface.

One  critic  declares  that  “it  fills  a distinct  place  in  the  juvenile 
literature  of  English  history.”  Of  the  work  the  author  himself 
says : 

“Us  object  is  to  show  that  clear,  accurate  and  scientific  views 
of  hislory,  or  indeed  of  any  subject,  may  be  easily  given  to  chil- 
dren from  the  very  first.  In  truth  the  more  rigidly  accurate  and 
scientific  a statement  is,  the  more  easily  it  is  for  a child  to  take 
it  in.  . . . 

“I  have,  I hope,  shown  that  it  is  perfectly  easy  to  teach  chil- 
dren from  the  very  first,  to  distinguish  true  history  alike  from 
legend  and  from  willful  invention,  and  also  to  understand  the 
nature  of  historical  authorities  and  to  weigh  one  statement 
against  another.”

understand  that  our  national  history  is  a part  of  the  history  of 
the  world,  and  that  it  had  its  beginnings  many  centuries  before 
Columbus  started  out  on  his  famous  voyage  of  discovery.  For 
some  of  our  American  beginnings  we  are  indebted  to  the  Greeks, 
for  some  to  the  Romans,  for  others  to  the  men  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  and  for  others  still  to  the  peoples  of  more  recent  eras.  To

“I  propose  in  this  volume  to  write  of  the  origin  of  the  Confed- 
erate government,  and  somewhat  of  the  civil  history,  interspers- 
ing the  narrative  with  a few  personal  reminiscences.  . . It  is 

foreign  from  my  plan  to  write  of  the  military  achievements  and 
the  splendid  services  of  the  army,  lessening  daily  in  numbers 
from  sickness  and  battle,  as  this  is  a matter  of  military  rather 
than  of  political  history.  Many  volumes  have  l’ecorded  these  glo- 
rious deeds.  The  skill  of  captains,  the  endurance  and  gallantry  of 
those  who,  amid  ‘the  weary  waiting  for  help  which  never  came,’ 
accomplished  marvels  of  manhood  and  patriotism,  are  now  slowly 
acknowledged,  but  the  underlying  principles  and  motives  of  se- 
cession still  lack  understanding  and  approval.  If  this  little  vol- 
ume shall  remove  any  prejudice  or  throw  any  clearer  light  on 
historical  and  constitutional  truth  the  author  will  receive  ample 
remuneration  for  the  time  and  labor  he  has  given  to  its  prepara- 
tion. ’ ’ — Preface.

“This  book  is  not  controversial ; nor  do  I pretend  to  original  re-

“He  at  once  takes  the  reader  back  into  war  times  and  days  fol- 
lowing ; and  it  is  plain  that  he  was  in  the  center  of  the  social 
currents  and  knew  everybody.  ...  As  a picture  of  social  life 
during  the  war,  we  recall  nothing  yet  written  that  will  surpass 
it  in  vividness  and  wealth  of  detail.” — Boston  Transcript.

back  more  truly  in  realistic  description,  the  beauty  and  charm  of 
social  life  in  the  Old  South.” — Richmond  Times-Despatch.

“This  work  was  begun  some  five  years  ago  as  a study  of  Re- 
construction in  Alabama.  As  the  field  opened  it  seemed  to  me 
that  an  account  of  ante-bellum  conditions,  social,  economic,  and 
political,  and  of  the  effect  of  the  Civil  War  upon  ante-bellum  in- 
stitutions would  be  indispensable  to  any  just  and  comprehensive 
treatment  of  the  later  period.  Consequently  I have  endeavored  to 
describe  briefly  the  society  and  the  institutions  that  went  down 
during  Civil  War  and  Reconstruction.  Internal  conditions  in 
Alabama  during  the  war  period  are  discussed  at  length  ; they  are 
important,  because  they  influenced  seriously  the  course  of  Recon- 
struction. Throughout  the  work  I have  sought  to  emphasize  the 
social  and  economic  problems  in  the  general  situation,  and  ac- 
cordingly in  addition  to  a sketch  of  the  politics  I have  dwelt  at 
some  length  upon  the  educational,  religious,  and  industrial  as- 
pects of  the  period.” — Preface.

Hamilton,  Peter  Joseph.  (1859 — ) Colonial  Mobile;  an 
historical  study  largely  from  original  sources,  of 
the  Alabama-Tombigbee  Basin  and  the  old  South- 
west, from  the  discovery  of  the  Spiritu  Santo  in 
1519  until  the  demolition  of  Fort  Charlotte  in 
1821,  by  Peter  J.  Hamilton,  pp.  594.  Rev.  and 
enl.  ed.  (Educational.) 3.50 

“The  vast  region,  draining  from  the  Tennessee  watershed  to 
the  Gulf,  and  here  fii'st  characterized  as  the  Alabama-Tombigbee 
Basin,  rich  in  natural  features  and  historic  interest,  tinds  in  this 
volume  an  exhaustive  and  appreciative  presentation  of  its  his- 
tory. While  the  work  is  called  Colonial  Mobile,  it  concerns  not 
alone  the  town  of  that  name,  but  the  settlement  and  expansion 
of  population  in  the  whole  basin,  while  under  the  rule  of  foreign 
powers,  and  during  the  early  years  of  American  control.  The  pe- 
riod covered,  1519-1821,  is  divided  into  six  parts,  with  an  appendix 
of  documents  and  collateral  matter.  Within  these  three  centuries 
come  the  discovery  and  exploration  by  the  Spanish,  1519-1670; 
the  settlement  and  growth  of  the  French,  1670-1763  ; the  domi- 
nation of  the  British,  1763-1780  ; and  the  occupation  of  the  Span- 
ish, 1780-1813.  In  none  of  the  general  histories  of  Louisiana, 
Mississippi,  Florida,  or  Alabama,  indeed  in  no  work,  has  emphasis 
been  placed  on  the  fact  that  the  Mobile  Basin  has  been  the  cen- 
ter of  an  important  influence  and  history  from  the  early  explora- 
tions of  the  sixteenth  down  to  the  present  century.  Failing  to 
appreciate  this  importance  the  treatment  of  its  history  has  here- 
tofore been  subordinate  and  meagre.  The  author  finds  the  ex- 
planation in  the  fact  that  Spain,  France  and  England  lost  the 
territory  so  long  ago  as  to  have  lost  likewise  interest  in  its  his- 
tory. It  has,  too,  so  long  been  severed  from  the  Mississippi  val- 
ley, which  was  colonized  from  its  shores,  that  the  historians  of 
modern  Louisiana  have  known  personally  but  little  of  this,  the 
original  seat  of  that  great  empire,  and  have  devoted  their  atten- 
tion mainly  to  the  later  growth  which  centered  on  the  lower  Mis- 
sissippi.”— Thomas  M.  Owen,  in  American  Historical  Review,  Vol.

A good  book  is  the  precious  life-blood  of  a master-spirit,  em- 
balmed and  treasured  up  on  purpose  to  a life  beyond  Vrft.—Milton. 


In  books  lies  the  soul  of  the  whole  Past  Time ; the  articulate  audi- 
ble voice  of  the  Past,  when  the  body  and  material  substance;  of  it 
has  altogether  vanished  like  a dream  .—Carlyle.  \>\'r  v',  *.  y 


We  owe  to  books  those  general  benefits  which  come  from  high 
intellectual  action.  Thus,  I think,  we  often  owe  to ; then!  the  per 
ception  of  immortality.  They  impart  sympathetic  activity  to  the 
moral  power:  . ....  In  the  highest  civilization.  the  book  is  still  the 
highest  delight.-— Waldo  Emerson. 


Free  corn  in  old  Rome  bribed  a mob  and  kept  it  passive.  i By  free 
books  and  what  goes  with  them  in  modern  America  we  mean  to 
erase,  the  mob  from  existence.  There  lies  the  cardinal  difference 
between  a civilization  which  perished  and  a civilization  that  will 
endure. — Lamed.  r 1 V: . - :■ ' ■■ 


O for  a booke  and  a shady  nooke 
Eyther  in  door  or  out, 

With  the  greene  leaves  whispering  overhead. 

Or  the  streete  cryes  all  about; 

Where  I maie  reade  all  at  my  ease 
Both  of  the  newe  and  oldie, 

For  a joliie  goode  booke  whereon  to  looke 
ts  better  to  me  than  onld^i
